It's a sad fact that those of us coming of age in the late sixties early seventies were told we could have it all. They didn't tell us we'd have to do it all to have it all. I get up at 5am and by 11 have put in a full day and am whipped, but still seldom go to bed before 11pm. No wonder so many of us are on medication for something or other. And do any of you ever feel guilty if you actually sit still and do nothing? I do. I have 3 kids, 2 dogs, 1 spouse, 2 houses, 1 job. Multi task is the pc way to say indentured servitude! I tried to take some time off of work recently, not to go away, but to get my house in order. Everyday one of the kids would say, what are your plans for today. By the end of the week of taxi service, housecleaning, laundry, repairs, I just wanted one day to sit by my pool and read a book. My family seems to think it's crazy for mom to just be still. Do I sound like a whiner? Yes? Then Dots, this is in the right category.
